Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is seeking bids for the "France Transport Services" contract aimed at providing hired transport primarily in the Paris area over a duration of 3-4 years, covering significant events such as COP21 and Euro2016.

Notice Information

Notice Title

France Transport Services

Notice Description

The British Embassy Paris regularly has visits from delegations for large (COP21) and smaller events that require hired transport. In 2016, there has been both Euro2016 and Somme 100th. For each event we were required to go through a tender process due to the costs involved which is very labour intensive both for ourselves and the companies that tender. We have now decided, therefore, to tender for a 3-4 year contract for all hired transport in France to reduce our man hours while ensuring value for money. It is anticipated that most of the work will be in the Paris area with some larger events elsewhere in France. Additional information: All Tender documentation has been published, and all substantive communication between the Authority and bidders will be conducted via the FCO's eProcurement portal BravoSolution.
